My cousin Marci is getting married in June. Family weddings give my mom and I an excuse to get together and make a quilt so we decided early this year that we better get planning. Marci met with my mom to see a sample of some previous quilts. She decided she likes squares and she wanted lots of white with a little bit of purple.

We worked together to make and piece the blocks and borders. I quilted it and my mom did the binding. In the borders, I quilted Marci and Nick and June 4, 2011.

Here's a close up of the quilting. Most of the quilt is an overall stipple.

We gave the quilt to Marci during her wedding shower this weekend. She LOVES it and it received a good amount of oh's and ah's. Yay! It will go in her living room which is painted purple. She painted the other rooms in her house lime green and mustard yellow. A girl after my own heart!

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! I've been quilting since my mother-in-law helped me make my first quilt in 1999. I spent several years drawing inspiration from books, magazines, and quilters in my local community.

When I started blogging in 2008, I discovered many wonderful quilters from around the world who are happy to share their projects. This has pushed me to further test my creativity. (I could seriously spend all day surfing through quilting blogs!)

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at nkubat (at) indiana.edu. I hope you enjoy my blog.
